Beyond the Blues
I was honored to participate in the invitational themed exhibition at the Columbia Art Center. This organization is so supportive of local artist and I am happy to get to know the art director, Liz Henzey, who is a fantastic advocate of the local arts here in Maryland.
The theme of the show was “Beyond the Blues” which encouraged artist to explore an array of concepts from the color blue, to the music genre, to feelings & emotions, or resilience. I was thrilled to have three pieces of art in this exhibition, all exploring the of stillness of nature at dusk and giving homage to feeling of Beyond.
Defining my why
As an artist, I am drawn to the unlimited possibilities of self-expression through painting, collage and mixed media. My work is a reflection of my inner world, shaped by my experiences and perceptions of my outer world.
My creative process is both intuitive and deliberate. I begin with a spark of inspiration, an idea, or an emotion that resonates with me. Through the blending of colors, mark making and careful consideration I allow both spontaneity and intention to guide. This creative process gives my work a sense of playful energy.
Ultimately, my art is a reflection of my unique perspective and my ongoing journey of self-discovery. It is my hope that my work resonates with others, offering them a glimpse into my world while inviting them to reflect on their own.
